However… what are the reasons for that? Allow us to show you why it has ranked so poorly.

Why Kuwait Is Not What It Seems

First, it offers very little when it comes to leisure options, and it ranks way below Abu Dhabi and Dubai in this regard.

We all need fun, and unfortunately, most expats have reported that they did not feel satisfied in Kuwait, because they did not have as much leisure as they desired.

If you want to do and see a lot, then Abu Dhabi is the best option by far. Kuwait does not come even close to the leisure options available in the capital of the UAE.

Moreover, it is important to add that women expats did not feel very comfortable during their time in Kuwait. It is not to say that Abu Dhabi is perfect in this sense, but at least it is much safer.

Traffic is terrible as well. You are limited to taxis and buses, and drivers are not very concerned with security on the roads, therefore, it can be intimidating at times.

The public health system is very problematic in Kuwait. If you have to relocate here, then get private health insurance, because it will save you plenty of time and problems.

Moreover, there is a little problem in Kuwait, something that you would not see in most cities in the UAE, including Abu Dhabi.

Finally, social life is somewhat limited here. Outside of your workspace, it is a bit hard to meet more people. In addition, it is important to note that locals blame expats for many things; therefore, it adds more power to this hostile atmosphere.

Abu Dhabi Is Better

Abu Dhabi is not perfect, but by far much better than Kuwait.

Leisure options are almost endless here. You have an incredible number of restaurants at your disposal, as well as good nightlife venues, sports clubs, etc.

Safety is great as well. It is one of the safest cities in the world, and therefore, you can feel safe even at night.

Socializing with new people is easier as well. Even though you are in a conservative setting, it is easier to meet other expats and build your social circle. Therefore, it is easier to adapt to your new home, much easier than in Kuwait.

Finally, the entrepreneurial environment here is vibrant and much more exciting. If you are an entrepreneur, then you will enjoy your time here.

Final Words:

So the answer is clear: Abu Dhabi is the best option. We are not the unique ones who preach it, because many other expats will agree with us.
